the Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in the North Island of New Zealand in 1840 it tog 3 days for it to be signed because of all the people in the line .

A musket is a powerful weapon they used for defence it is a one shot weapon that can kill a man in one shot it can not go far it was meant to be a close range weapon that they used to kill a lot of people.

King Tawhiao stopped the war between maori and british by putting the gun down by the britishs feet and the british accepted to live together in peace and not harming each other.  

The treaty is how maori and british kept the peace and  lived together without war.

The first school that was made in 1974 in the waikato is the daycare in pirongia next to the  The museum.

One day i felt something crawling quietly across my leg and it felt big.frightly i got it in my

hand but it had gone. Then it crawled back but on my hand stealthily and it revealed itself  

staring at me creepily. I ran up to mum and said “ I think that bug on the wall was on me” mum bursted out laughing. I Was thinking for a moment so i sat on the other couch and it couldn't get me there.

We all had a cookie each before we went in side.There were racing car tracks and go kart tracks.First we went into a mechanical museum and tried a chocolate mint as it melted chocolaty in my mouth. Through the forest in a tour bus seeing all the dinosaur statuses. We stop to break at a little play area in the forest and went to the racing car track.        

hiking by Max B

   !Hiking!

By max!

Thursday morning at the mountain people hiking and mountain biking. Three hours of hiking up Pirongia mountain. There were lots of hills to struggle  and rivers to cross.

I was puffing up the hills then through a forest then through sticky swampy yucky mud that didn't want to come off. Soon we got out into this desert place to have lunch there were some bones and gun shells lots of stuff to do and berries to try the worse part is that we had to go.

There were so much things to learn and things to look at so much hills to run down everything was amazing and fluffy plants that left  snow flying in the air happily in the fateful air. Next there were mountain tracks that had never ending hills. We made it to the end like we just won a gold medal. We had a big rest and watched a movie!!
